.NET Compiler Version

Compiler version
For new development on V19, developers must use Visual Studio 2017 or later. Managed modules compiled with .NET 4 for older BricsCAD versions will continue to run on V19 but Visual Studio 2010 and older versions of VS will not recognize the current BrxMgd TD_Mgd modules because they are based on .NET 4.5.1.

For .NET based development it is sufficient to use the free Visual Studio Community Edition.

and

The supported .NET runtime is version 4.5.1:

Being asked to go back prior to C# 6 is a little painfull

Can anyone see any issues using .NET 4.7 .1 or 4.7.2 with VS2019 ?? ( as I do with OtherCAD )

I can't imagine not being allowed to use String Interpolation etc, etc, etc

Regards,

    Looks like I was reading the docs incorrectly.

    ... older versions of VS will not recognize the current BrxMgd TD_Mgd modules because they are based on .NET 4.5.1.

    So, Compiling with a later/more recent Framework and C# language/compiler should be ok.
